If nothing else, this postseason proved that the Philadelphia 76ers can compete with any team in the league. With a lineup of four stars that played only 10 games together before the postseason began, the Philadelphia 76ers took the Finals-bound Toronto Raptors to seven games. If not for a miraculous jump shot by Kawhi Leonard, it could very well be the Philadelphia 76ers preparing for Golden State right now.
With this knowledge that the Sixers in their current form are among the NBA’s elite teams, it only makes sense to keep the current core together for at least one more season.
